Session started brilliantly when I played 100 hands of 25NL without thinking. Made $0.35, so maybe I should've stayed there.

Rest of the time was ick. Missed most of my draws, did get fancy (too loose preflop by far, for example) but not much worse than I had been at 25NL (except preflop. Possibly my worst street). Had 25 PPs see the flop, hit one set. Did score some 3-outers and 4-outers (in small pots), but lost big pots the same way. Had a minor resurgance near the end, picking up a couple of buy-ins and just about letting me stay at this level. Only one hand I'll post now:

BB: $25.95
UTG: $94.80
UTG+1: $51.35
UTG+2: $21.55
MP1: $65.50
MP2: $11.05
CO: $51.45
BTN: $41.15
Hero (SB): $50

Pre-Flop: Ac Ks dealt to Hero (SB)
3 folds, MP1 raises to $2, 2 folds, BTN raises to $5, Hero raises to $14, 2 folds, BTN raises to $23, Hero raises to $50 and is All-In, BTN calls $18.15 and is All-In


BTN had Aces and must've figured his Christmas came early. Min 3-bet should've tipped me off maybe that this was AA/KK. I'd be 4:1 against that, so nothing like the right price. $14 of cooler, $27 of poor play. If he does that with 99+ I'm ok, or JJ+, AQo+, but that's a wide range.

Well, I'll hang in here for a little longer. Stop limit of $500 is ok for me.

Thought I'd start the month with some PLO. 4-tabling short handed was a little rough to start with. Didn't cause me too many problems with hands, although I stacked off stupidly once (overpairs are -EV). Generally ok.
